                      JUDGMENT

The complainant company has filed complaint

U/Sec.200 of Code of Criminal Procedure against the

Accused for the offence punishable U/Sec.138 of

Negotiable Instrument Act.

2. The facts of the case in brief are as follows:-

It is the case of the Complainant Company that

complainant is a registered firm carrying on business

and distributor of G.I.Pipes, PVC Pipes, RPVC pipes,

SWR, ASTML pipes, CPVC pipes and other allied

products. The accused is one of the customer of the

complainant and accused has placed orders for supply of

materials and in pursuance of the same, the complainant

has supplied materials on credit basis and the accused

has agreed to clear the amount within 15 days from the

date of supply. In the event if the credit period exceeds

15 days, the accused has agreed to pay the interest @

24% per annum on he delayed payment. Further the

accused has placed orders for supply of materials and

accordingly, the complainant has supplied the materials
3
CC No.4209/2024
on various occasions. Pursuant to the same, the

complainant has raised credit invoices for supply of

materials. Accordingly, the accused has made payments

leaving the balance towards the transaction amounting

to Rs.2,03,561/- which admittedly exceeds the credit

facility. In order to settle the outstanding amount the

accused came forward to issue a cheque dated

08.08.2019 bearing No.889187 drawn on Kotak

Mahindra Bank.

3. Further complainant has brought to the notice of

the accused that the aforesaid cheque will be placed for

collection and requested the accused to keep sufficient

funds in the account for which he has agreed. In spite of

it the accused has not taken steps to keep sufficient

amount in his account to clear the aforesaid cheque.

Since the accused has not kept sufficient funds in the

account, the complainant’s banker has returned the

cheque with endorsement as “funds Insufficient” by its

endorsement dated 13.08.2019. Thereafter, the accused

has not come forward with proper reply or inclination to

settle the amount. This fact makes crystal clear that the
4
CC No.4209/2024
accused has no inclination to make the payment and the

intention on the part of accused is only to deprive the

legitimate amount due to the complainant. As such,

there is no option for the complainant, except to issue

the notice dated 29.08.2019. The said notice was

returned unserved even though the accused is residing in

the said address. Hence complainant filed the present

complaint.

4. Sworn statement of Authorized representative of

complainant company recorded as PW-1 and got marked

documents as Ex.P.1 to 29 and ordered summons to the

accused. The accused appeared through his advocate

and he enlarged on bail. Substance of accusation read

over to the accused and he pleaded the case of the

complainant as false. In view of the decision of the

Hon’ble Apex Court of India, in the case Indian Bank

Association & Ors V/s. Union of India & Ors, reported in (2014) 5

SCC 590, the sworn statement of the complainant is

treated as chief examination of the complainant. The

accused has filed application u/s 145(2) of the Negotiable

Instruments Act seeking permission for cross
5
CC No.4209/2024
examination of the complainant and allowed the same.

The Statement of accused under Sec.313 of Cr.P.C. In

the statement under section 313 of Cr.P.C, the accused

has denied all the incriminating evidences appearing

against him. The counsel for the accused cross examined

PW-1 in fully. Then, the matter was posted for

Arguments.

5. Heard the arguments of the both counsels. Perused

the records.

6. The following points arise for my consideration:

1. Whether the complainant proves that the
cheques bearing No.889187 for a sum of
Rs.2,03,561/- dated:08.08.2019 drawn on
Karnataka Bank Ltd., JP Nagar, 7th Phase,
Bangalore issued by the accused has been
dishonored on the ground of “FUNDS
INSUFFICIENT” and the accused even after
receiving the intimation regarding the dishonor of
cheque failed to pay the cheque amount within
the stipulated period and thereby accused has
committed an offence punishable under Sec.138
of N.I. Act?

2. What order?

7. My findings on the above points are as
under
Point No.1: In the Affirmative

Point No.2: As per final order,
for the following:

6

CC No.4209/2024
REASONS

8. Point No.1 : It is the case of the complainant

that, the complainant company is a registered firm

carrying on business in the name and style “C.P.Rajappa

son & Company” The complainant company is a

distributor of G.I pipes, PVC Pipes, RPVC pipes, SWR,

ASTML Pipes, CPVC pipes and other allied products. The

accused is one of the customer of the complainant

company carrying on business and in the course of

business the accused placed orders for supply of

materials and in pursuance of the same, the complainant

has supplied materials on credit basis and the accused

has agreed to clear the amount within 15 days from the

date of supply. Further in the event of credit period

exceeds 15 days, the accused has agreed to pay the

interest @ 24% per annum. Accordingly, complainant has

supplied the materials on various occasions and also

complainant raised credit invoices for supply of

materials. Accused has made payments leaving the

balance towards the transaction to Rs.2,03,561/- which

admittedly exceeds the credit facility. In order to settle

the outstanding amount the accused issued a cheque
7
CC No.4209/2024
dated 08-08-2019 bearing No.889187 for the sum of

Rs.2,03,561/- drawn on Kotak Mahindra Bank. In

support of the transaction, Authorized Representative of

the complainant company got examined himself as PW-1

and produced Authorization letter as Ex.P1. Cheque and

signature of the accused on cheque as per Ex.P2 &

Ex.P2(a). Bank Endorsement as Ex.P3. Copy of notice

dated 29-08-2019 as Ex.P4. Postal receipt as Ex.P5.

Returned postal cover as Ex.P6. Copy of notice contained

in Ex.P6 postal cover as per Ex.P6(a). Ledger Account

Extracts as per Ex.P7 & 8. 8 ledger Account extracts are

marked as Ex.P9 to Ex.P16. 6 Tax invoices are marked

as Ex.P17 to 22. Income tax form is marked as Ex.P23.

Schedule No.8 Sundry Debtors as on 31-03-2021 is

marked as Ex.P24. Statement of profit and loss is

marked as Ex.P25. Schedule No.14 is marked as Ex.P26.

Statement of income is marked as Ex.P27. Schedule

No.14 is marked as Ex.P28. Certificate of u/s 65(B) of

Indian Evidence Act is marked as Ex.P29.

9. The learned counsel for the complainant submitted

the arguments contending that the accused is the
8
CC No.4209/2024
customer of complainant to substantiate the same he has

produced the invoices as per Ex.P17 to 22 and also

produced Ex.P23 & 24 IT returns and out of

Rs.5,77,438/- accused has paid only part amount hence

the cheque was issued towards the discharge of said

liability. No reply was given to the legal notice nor paid

the amount due. Therefore, sought to convict the

accused and impose the double of the cheque amount.

10. Per contra, the counsel for the accused argued

that in order to secure the credit of goods blank cheques

were obtained by the complainant and also invoices

raised by the complainant are created. No documents are

produced to show the supply of goods from B’lore office.

The company of accused is only made as accused in this

case. It partners have not been arrayed as

parties/accused in this case. Partnership firm is to be

made as accused in this case but partnership firm was

not made as party in this case. Therefore, complainant

violated provision of section 141 of NI Act. The accused

has rebutted the non delivery of goods to him. Hence,
9
CC No.4209/2024
prayed to acquit the accused on these grounds and on the

other grounds urged at the time of arguments.

11. Now, on the basis of the materials available on

record, it is required to examine whether the complainant

has complied with the provisions of Section 138 of N.I Act

to get cause of action to file this complaint. The

complainant besides his oral testimony has relied on the

documents at Ex.P2 to 6(a) in support of his contentions.

Ex.P2 is the cheque alleged to have been issued by the

accused, Ex.P.3 is the Return memo issued by the Banker

of the accused with the endorsements “FUNDS

INSUFFICIENT”, Ex.P4 is the copy of legal notice issued

by the complainant, Ex.P5 is the postal receipt for having

sent the said notice to the accused and Ex.P6 is the

returned postal cover. Ex.P6(a) is copy of notice contained

in Ex.P6 postal cover. All these documents corroborate

the version of the complainant in his complaint as well as

affidavit in lieu of chief examination and more over these

documents are not at all disputed by the accused except

issuance of the cheques, which would be discussed in

detail later. Thus, complainant with the help of Ex.P.2
10
CC No.4209/2024
to 6(a) has conveniently proved to have complied the

provisions of Section 138 i.e. presentation of cheque

within the statutory period for encashment, issue of legal

notice within prescribed period to the Accused and filing

of complaint within limitation period as per section 142 of

the Act.

12. The second aspect of the case is whether the

accused has successfully rebutted the presumption

available in favour of the complainant with probable and

convincing evidences? It is well settled principle of law

that, once the cheque is admitted there will be a

statutory presumption in favour of the holder or holder

in due course U/Ss 118 and 139 of the Act. However, as

held by our Hon’ble Apex Court and the High Court in a

catena of decisions, the presumptions under the said

sections are in the nature of rebuttable presumptions

and hence, the accused can very well rebut the said

presumptions by leading reasonable and probable

defence. Let us examine the same on the basis of the

materials available on record.

11

CC No.4209/2024

13. In support of the case of the complainant the

Authorized Representative of the complainant company

got examined as PW-1 and produced certified copies of

Ledger extract as per Ex.P7 & 8, Certified copies of 8

ledger account extracts, Income tax acknowledgment

with audit report to show that the accused had

purchased materials and he is due to the complainant.

6 tax invoices as per Ex.P17 to 22 also got marked. On

perusal of the said tax invoices, it appears that since

March 2017 to June 2017 complainant had supplied the

materials to accused. Further ledger account extracts

shows the transaction from 01/04/2016 to 31/03/2024.

The final ledger extract Ex.P16 shows that, after

deducting the payment made by the accused there was

an outstanding balance of Rs.2,03,561/- as on

01-04-2023. In the course of cross examination of PW-1

by counsel for the accused and in his arguments

contended that the complainant has not supplied the

goods as per Ex.P17 to 22 and the said invoices are

created. The accused at the time of entering into the

business transaction with the complainant company in
12
CC No.4209/2024
the year 2017 issued the said cheque for security

purpose and the complainant misused the said cheque.

The accused is not liable to pay the cheque amount to

the complainant company. It may be mentioned that, on

behalf of accused neither in the cross examination of

PW-1 and in his arguments not disputed Ex.P2 cheque

and the signature thereon not belongs to the accused.

Though the accused contended that he had issued Ex.P2

cheque to the complainant for security purpose, but

issuance of cheque in favour of the complainant is not in

dispute. Therefore presumption U/sec 139 of the N.I.

Act raises in favour of the complainant that the accused

issued cheque to the complainant towards discharge of

any debt or liability. The burden shifts on the accused to

rebut the said presumption by raising probable defense.

It is pertinent to note that, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of

India in the recent reportable judgment

dated:09/03/2021 passed in Crl.Appeal Nos. 292/2021

& 293/2021 in the case of Sumeti Vij V/s M/s

Paramount Tech Fab Industries held that the burden is

on the accused to prove that cheque not issued for
13
CC No.4209/2024
discharge of debt or liability. With this back ground let

me appreciate the evidence on record whether the

accused is able to rebut the presumption U/sec. 139 of

the N.I. Act available in favour of the complainant.

14. In the course of cross examination of PW-1, it was

suggested that ಆರೋಪಿ ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ನಮ್ಮಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ

ಮಾಲುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಹಣವನ್ನು ನಗದು

ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ತೀರಿಸಿದ್ದಾ ರೆ ಎಂದರೆ ಸರಿಯಲ್ಲ . During the entire

course of cross examination of PW-1 on behalf of accused

contended that the accused has paid the entire amount

of the materials supplied by the complainant. Of course,

PW-1 specifically denied the said suggestion made on

behalf of the accused in this regard. The accused except

bare suggestion to PW-1 nothing is placed on record to

show that he has paid entire amount pertaining to the

materials supplied by the complainant. Absolutely there

is no evidence on record to show that the accused has

paid entire amount to the complainant as contended. If

he has made the payment by cash he might have

received the acknowledgment or receipt for the said

payment. But in order to prove the same has not
14
CC No.4209/2024
produced the said receipt. Therefore, the version of the

accused cannot be accepted.

15. In the course of cross examination of PW-1 by the

counsel for accused suggested that the signature of the

complainant company is there at Ex.P17 to 22 but

accused company signature is not there. The said

suggestion admitted by the accused. Though in the

course of cross examination of PW-1 it was elicited that

the invoices does not bear the seal and signature of

accused firm but it is pertinent to note that in the course

of cross examination of PW-1 on behalf of the accused

Except suggesting PW-1 that the accused did not owe any

amount to complainant and also paid entire amount by

cash, the accused has not denied the transaction and he

has not disputed ledger account extracts at Ex.P9 to 16.

Obtaining signature of accused person on the invoice or

delivery receipt is not necessarily a legal requirement, but

it can be beneficial in establishing evidence in a potential

dispute. A signed invoice or delivery receipt serves as

proof that the goods were delivered to the accused person.

However, it is important to note that lack of signature
15
CC No.4209/2024
does not invalidate the transaction. The absence of a

signature on the invoice or delivery receipt does not

necessarily invalidate the transaction or accused persons

liability. It can be proved by other means of evidence.

Except the suggestion that signature of accused not

obtained on tax invoices does not invalidate the supply of

goods by complainant to the accused. Therefore, the

arguments advanced by counsel for accused not tenable

in the eye of law.

16. Further, it is contended by the accused that,

alleged cheque Ex.P1 is issued as security to the

complainant and the same is misused by the

complainant. If the accused issued blank cheque to the

complainant and if there is no liability on the part of the

accused, he would have issued a stop payment

instructions to the bank or issued notice to the

complainant for return of cheque taken for alleged

security and he could have lodged complaint before

police for alleged utilization of cheque by the

complainant. The accused neither issued stop payments

instructions to the bank nor issued notice to the
16
CC No.4209/2024
complainant for the return of cheque. Since the accused

is a business man he knows the consequences of the

issuance of blank cheque. In action on the part of the

accused not issuing stop payment instructions and

notice to the complainant for return of the cheque leads

to draw an adverse interference against him. If really the

complainant taken the blank cheque at the initial stage

of the business from the accused and there was no

liability on the part of the accused, definitely the accused

would have issued stop payment instructions and also

issued notice to the complainant for return of the cheque

and he would not have kept quite. Regarding issuance

of cheque, though the accused simply contended that

said cheque was issued in blank he has not stated as to

why the said cheque was issued in blank to the

complainant. More so, except making suggestions that,

the handwriting is in different ink no positive evidence

placed to disprove the same. It is to be noted that section

20 of the Negotiable Instrument Act states that if one

person signs and delivers to another, the paper stamp in

accordance with the law relating to Negotiable
17
CC No.4209/2024
Instruments either wholly blank or having written

thereon an incomplete negotiable instrument, he thereby

gives prima-facie authority to the holder thereof to make

complete. The said provision empowers the holder of the

cheque to fill up the contents of cheque and present the

same to the bank. It is worth to note that, the accused

has not disputed the cheque does not belongs to him and

also no material has been placed by the accused to

disprove the transaction in question. Therefore, this

contention of the accused also holds no water.

17. Regarding the service of notice, it is stated by

the complainant that legal notice sent to the address of

the accused through RPAD was returned unserved with

the postal endorsement “door lock” as per Ex.P4.

However, during the course of PW-1, counsel for the

accused suggested that the notice sent to the accused

has not been served to him. Except the suggestion,

accused has not at all denied or disputed his address

shown in the postal receipt and postal cover Ex.P5 & 6.

Thus, it appears that the complainant had issued said

notice to the last known address of the accused. ‘When
18
CC No.4209/2024
the statutory notice is sent to the correct address of

the addressee, even if the same is returned unserved

on the grounds of either refusal or not claim or

absence of the addressee, the same amounts to

deemed service’ as held by Hon’ble Apex Court in the

case of M/S Indo Automobiles Vs. M/S. Jaidurga

Enterprises reported in 2008 (2) DCR 499 and also as

provided under Sec.27 of the Mysore general clauses Act,

1897. More over, the entire purpose of giving notice is to give

an opportunity to the drawer to pay the cheque amount

within 15 days and there by free himself from the penal

consequences of Sec.138 of the Act as observed by our

Hon’ble High Court in the case of Sri. Prakash @ Gnana

Prakash v/s Miss. T.S. Susheela reported in ILR 2012 KAR

4815. Thus, the legal notice is deemed to have been

served.

18. It is another contention of the accused that Ex.P2

was signed in the capacity of partner. Therefore,

partnership firm is to be made as accused in this case

but the complainant has failed to array partnership firm

as one of the accused in this case. Therefore, non

arraying of partner as one of the accused is the violation
19
CC No.4209/2024
of section 141 of NI Act. Therefore, contends that the

complaint is not maintainable on this ground hence

prays to dismiss the same.

19. Based on rival contention, Sec.141 of NI Act deals

about offences by companies. sub section 1 of sec. 141 of

NI Act 1881 states that if the person committing an

offence u/s 138 is a company, every person who, at the

time the offence was committed, was in charge of, and

was responsible to the company for the conduct of

business of the company, as well as the company, shall

be deemed to be guilty of the offence and shall be liable

to be proceed against and punished accordingly. This

court is much concerned about sub section 1 of sec. 141.

of NI Act 1881. Therefore, this court not going into the

question of proviso to sub section 1 of sec. 141 of NI Act

1881.

20. The meaning of word ‘person in charge’ has been

explained by Hon’ble Apex court in the case of Katta

Sujata Vs. fertilizer chem travencore ltd., reported in

(2002) 7 SCC 655 wherein it is held that for the purpose

of section 138 of NI Act, the expression ‘person in charge’
20
CC No.4209/2024
should mean that such a person should be in control of

all the day to day business or affairs of the company or

the firm as the case may be. If complaint does not

attribute any act done on his own or with connivance of

some other person of the company or firm which finally

lead to filing of complaint”.

21. Looking to the facts of the case in hand the

complainant has shown accused in cause title as follows.

M/s M.N.Properties, No.18, 1st Main road, Asha Lakshmi

layout, Puttenahalli, JP Nagar, 6th Phase, Bengaluru by

its proprietor Sri.Mallikarjun. On perusal of cause title of

complaint it discloses that the complainant has made

company of accused as accused in this case and the

company of accused was represented by its Proprietor

Mallikarjun. Whereas it is the contention of the accused

that the cheque was signed in the capacity of partner.

The partnership firm has to be arrayed as one of the

accused in this case. But the complainant failed to array

the firm as one of the accused in this case. Hence prays

to dismiss the complaint on this count.

21

CC No.4209/2024

22. In (2010) 3 SCC 330 in the case of National

small Industries Corporation Ltd., Vs.Harmeet Singh

paintal wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court held that “it is

very clear from section 141 of the Act that what is

required is that the person who is sought to be made

vicariously liable for a criminal offence u/s 141 should

be, at the time the offence was committed, in charge of

and responsible to the company for the conduct of the

business of the company. Every person connected with

the company shall not fall within the ambit of provision.

Only those persons who were in charge of and

responsible for the conduct of business of the company

at the time of commission of the offence will be liable for

criminal action. If a Director of a company who was not

in charge of and was not responsible for the conduct of

the business of the company at the relevant time, will not

be liable for the criminal offence under the provisions.

The liability arises for being in charge of and responsible

for the conduct of the business of the company at the

relevant time when the offence was committed and not

on the basis of merely holding a designation or office in
22
CC No.4209/2024
the company”. Section 141 is a penal provision creating

vicarious liability and which, as per settled law, must be

strictly construed. It is therefore, not sufficient to make

a bald cursory statement in a complaint that the

Director(arrayed as an accused) is in charge of and

responsible to the company for the conduct of the

business of the company without anything more as to the

role of the Director. The complaint should spell out as to

how and in what manner the accused was in charge of or

was responsible for to the accused company for the

conduct of his business. A company though a legal

entity, can act only through its Board of Directors. The

settle position is that a Managing Director is prima facie

in charge of and responsible for the company’s business

and affairs and can be prosecuted for the offences by the

company. But insofar as other Directors are concerned,

they can be prosecuted only if they were in charge of and

responsible for the conduct of the business of the

company. Further held that a combined reading of

section 5 & 291 of the Companies Act 1956 with the

definition of that act show that the persons specified in
23
CC No.4209/2024
section 5 are considered to be the person who are

responsible to the company for the conduct of the

business of the company. But if the accused is not one of

the such person then merely by stating that he was in

charge of the business of the company or by stating that

he was in charge of day to day management of the

company, he cannot be made vicariously liable u/s 141

(1) of the Act.

23. In the present case in hand the complainant as

shown Mr.Mallikarjun as Proprietor of the company of

the accused that is M/s M N Properties. Therefore, it can

be construed that the complainant has made company as

accused in this case and the company was represented

by its proprietor Mallikarjun. The accused contended

that cheque was signed in the capacity of partner.

Therefore, without arraying partnership firm as one of

the accused the complaint is not maintainable. Except

the avernments in Ex.P2 that to only on the basis of seal

mentioned as partner, the accused has contended that it

is the partnership firm. If the company of the accused is

the partnership firm what prevented the accused to
24
CC No.4209/2024
produce the partnership deed to substantiate his

defence. Moreover the accused has not made any attempt

to disclose who are all partners of the alleged partnership

firm. In (2019)3 SCC 797 in the case of Himashu

Vs.B.Shivamurthy it is held that without making

company as party, the complaint is not maintainable”.

But in the present case in hand it is vice versa therefore

merely on the ground that the person in charge of the

company was not as arrayed as one of the accused is not

the ground to dismiss the complaint. Since a company

does not have physical body, in the event of conviction

the Hon’ble Apex court has held that there is no hurdle

for recovery of fine covered by the sentence even from a

sick company. In 2012 AIR SCW 1098 in the case of CBI

Vs.Blue sky tie up Pvt.Ltd., it is held that while imposing

substantial sentence court can impose fine on the

corporate body besides punishing the officer in charge of

the affairs of the company.

24. The material placed on record by the

complainant company discloses that the complainant

company has complied the mandatory requirements of
25
CC No.4209/2024
section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act and accused

has not chosen to lead his defence to disprove the case of

the complainant and also failed to rebut the presumption

as contemplated U/sec 139 of Negotiable Instrument Act

by placing acceptable evidence. Accordingly, I answer the

Point No.1 in the Affirmative.

25. POINT NO.2 :- In view of my findings to the

Points No.1, I proceed to pass the following:-

255(2) of Code of Criminal Procedure, the
